Bill > HRes1333

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on four distinct legislative measures. First, it establishes the procedure for considering H.R. 8646, an appropriations bill that funds agriculture, rural development, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, a federal agency responsible for protecting public health through the regulation of food, pharmaceuticals, and other products), and related agencies for the 2027 fiscal year, allowing one hour of general debate and limiting potential amendments to those approved by the House Committee on Rules. Second, it governs the debate on H.R. 7726, a bill amending the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 (a federal program that provides financial assistance to low-income families for childcare services) to withhold funds from states that fail to comply with program requirements. Third, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 7892, which amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to mandate that the Secretary of Education use an identity fraud detection system to review the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA, the form used by students to apply for financial aid for college) for potential identity theft or fraud. Finally, the Resolution outlines the rules for debating H.R. 8872, a bill that targets Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF, a federal block grant program providing temporary financial assistance to low-income families with children) funds more directly to low-income families while strengthening guardrails, measuring improper payments, and setting goals to eliminate fraud. Each bill is allotted one hour of debate and a standard opportunity for the minority party to offer a motion to recommit, which is a procedural tool used to send a bill back to committee with instructions to make changes before final passage.
